## About
Choose a video file and see how a vertical crop would frame it: drag the focal position slider to centre the crop on your subject, choose the shape, and the planner shows the crop size in pixels, how much the crop has to be enlarged to reach 1080 x 1920 and whether that would look soft. It then writes an FFmpeg command you can run to export it. Nothing is rendered or uploaded: the video plays in your browser only for the preview.

## How to use
1. Open the tool above and adjust the settings.
2. Check the live preview or result.
3. Copy or download the output.

## FAQ
**Does it export the video?** No. It previews the crop and writes an FFmpeg command you can run on your own computer. This keeps your video private and avoids uploading large files.

**Why is my vertical crop blurry?** A 9:16 crop from a 16:9 video keeps only about a third of the frame, so it has to be enlarged to reach 1080 x 1920. Shooting at 4K or filming in vertical avoids this.

**Is the Vertical Video Crop Planner free?** Yes, with no sign-up or limits.
